A realistic and knowledge-driven programme is the basis upon which I seek to be a candidate under the Labour Party in the 2016 Governorship Election in Edo State. I have no truck with manifestoes that deceive and confuse the electorate. What I offer is not a mere promise but a challenge to mobilize the human and material resources of our state in pursuit of a truly grand and marvellous future. I seek universal endorsement, across all the political parties in Edo state, because I believe that all good people will support a good candidate. Irrespective of political party alignment, every citizen and resident of Edo state deserves a society of true justice in which people are assured, and they know it, that they will always get their due.
MY STAND
My stand is that the people of Edo State have a great pre-colonial past whose particulars provide not just a grand philosophy, but a management science and a development model which we must pursue with every vigour. It offers a standard of self-assessment that is modern, civilized and propelled by a ready-hearted wish for transparency and excellence. Our task, as I see it, is to re-model Edo state upon the suasions of Ogun, the crown prince of the Edo, who reigned as King Ewuare in the 15th Century, with a picture of Great Benin based on a cult of the hand, that is, on labour power. We shall remake and remould the state on a grander more imaginative scale suited to the prospects of the 21st century.
